Hi,

I've done a bit of digging on this as I really liked the picture above. I've not long bought a leather one from topgaiters(eBay). I messaged them and they have said it's no problem to make them for an Impreza. They have even offered to send me a material sample. I don't know price yet but I have asked.

Top work mate, really do appreciate it

I think we should start a group buy on here aswell to lower costs and see if there are anymore people interested.

Keep me updated on any new info i.e. prices, etc.When you get the sample could you post a pic so we can see and give your impressions on the it

As Dave has said I also bought my leather red stitched gear gaitor from them.

I was very please with it. Fitted it two years ago and it still looks great. It did stink out the car for months though

As for the mention of a group buy, I'd be up for it

Great, that's 3 already. Once Dave has got back to me we'll go about starting a thread in the group buy section

The quality looks and feel good although the samples are small. I didnt realise how much dust alcantara collects!! They finally told me they would be 19.99 each. If you were looking to order you would have to contact them via eBay like I did.

Did they agree to a group buy?

Sorry, just seen this.

No, no group buy. They said it would be the same price no matter how many you buy.
